Stowaway apparently hid in 747 wheel well LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3 -- A man who was found in the wheel well of an Air France Boeing 747 was recovering in a Los Angeles County hospital Thursday night.

The Jumbo Stay hotel is a retired Boeing 747 jet in Sweden that has been converted into 33 bedrooms. The jet features hostel-style dorms, a cockpit suite, and rooms in the wheel well and engines.
